The production version of the Volkswagen ID Vizzion concept, first revealed in 2018, will be unveiled at the Beijing Motor Show in April. The first deliveries of the model will begin in 2023, and China will be a priority.
Brandstatter confirmed the model’s arrival, alongside a sketch, at VW’s annual press conference. The rakish car will essentially serve as the electric equivalent to the combustion-engined Passat, giving Volkswagen a sorely needed rival to electric executive market leaders such as the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2.
The vehicle will be available first in saloon form before an estate-bodied version, based on the ID Space Vizzion concept, arrives. Although the exterior dimensions will largely match the combustion-engined Passat’s, the interior is expected to offer space on par with the Phaeton flagship, which bowed out in 2016.
